Hi to everyone,

I've installed SRSS 3.1.1 on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS on AMD64 using the great script from http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/Sun_Ray_on_Ubuntu
After some minor modifications everything worked fine for me.
Gnome desktop works fine but when I try to start applications like xfig, xemacs, or emacs, the applications complain about missing colors and fonts. In xemacs also the icons are missing. firefox and gimp just state a segmentation fault and exit. This problem only occurs when I login using a Sun Ray. When I directly use the server or a remote ssh connection everything works fine. So from my point of view it seems that one of the init scripts of GDM doesn't execute some scripts in order to setup X11 properly. Did anybody had the same problem or has anyone an idea how to fix this?

Just a guess: I had once a problem with applications complaining about missing colors since rgb.txt was not found by the Sunray Xserver. Under Debian, one needs the links: ln -s /etc/X11/rgb.txt /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/
  ln -s /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
Fontpaths are taken from XF86Config, I guess:
  ln -s /etc/X11/xorg.conf   /etc/X11/XF86Config.
Perhaps you have an old XF86Config lying around and therefore the fontpaths are 
wrong?
Which fontpath is shown by "xset q"?

BTW, does anybody know which data from /etc/X11/XF86Config are really used by 
Xnewt?
The screen, keyboard, mouse, monitor ... sections are probably irrelevant, 
aren't they?

The problem with the colors was due to a wrong ln command in the setup script ... it created a link to rgb instead of rgb.txt.

The output of xset q is:
